Question

Normal cells responds to contact inhibition. When they come into contact with other cells, they stop moving and dividing. This keeps the cell contained within their own tissues. How did the mutated (cancer) cells show the evidence that they do not respond to contact inhibition?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutated (cancer) cells can show evidence of not responding to contact inhibition by continuing to move and divide even when they come into contact with other cells. This can lead to them becoming overcrowded and forming a mass of cells, causing a tumor. They may also spread and invade other tissues, a process known as metastasis.
